I imagine that he's referring to a consumer one. I use a HP G60 at home, and it runs fine (disregarding Vista...no free upgrade for me ]: ) and is somewhat durable, but I can imagine that it would completely falter and die if I were to try and run Inventor or LabView on it and bring it to robotics.
What I've found to be the case with HPs is that they heat up...really fast. I've only had the computer on for fifteen minutes, and it's already a lot hotter than most people would consider normal. My laptop is also really hard to keep clean :/ And yet, the Dell something-or-other-laptop that my family has that is 5 years old often runs better after it's started up, and it has endless amounts of games and programs installed on it. Dell > HP
